From the thrill of self-appreciation to the grave of flesh depreciation--I'll keep my inperfections, thank you very much. My eyes see people from the inside out, so much for my beholding. . .

Very terrible what people do for vanity, wierd stuff -- if you don't squint you don't get scowl lines, and if you don't laugh you don't get laugh lines -- Duh? My imperfections show my passions, joys and dreams; I think I'll feep mine too. Thanks for this entertaining and inspiring write. It should be displayed in front of every cosmetic plastic surgeon's door. My best to you. Good luck with your new book. Gloria

Every wrinkle and line has an amazing story to tell. It is not growing older that I mind, it is watching so many who can't seem to accept their fate and are not able to grow old gracefully.

Take care,

Sherry

Amen, Cynth'ya, Amen. :) Very well written, I applaud you! Besides, that pic makes me hurt. *cringe* The friend Karen mentioned was a dear neighbor, 52 years old. What did a facelift bring her? Death. Sad...

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. (who loves herself just fine, wrinkles and all LOL)

why can't people accept themselves for the way they look? we knew a women who died as a result of plastic surgery; she thought she had too many wrinkles and looked old, so she had a face lift. it ended up killing her. so i am very much against plastic surgery!

excellent write!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn. :(

be praying for karla: she has a spider bite on her back. ow!
